Not Your Grandma’s Breakfast

Cajun French:  le pain (lu pain) – bread

 

Breakfast seems to be the meal that can be the most rushed.  Simple, easy to prepare dishes are preferred and often contain leftovers.  Last night we made “Grandma’s Potato Croquettes” (see prior post) updating the recipe using Salmon and Sweet Potatoes — based on one from John’s grandmother where she used white potatoes and fish flakes.  The recipe makes about 12 patties so we had plenty left over.

 

This morning we decided to build a breakfast tower using the croquettes along with all fresh items from the Redstick Farmers Market (except the grapes and bananas) and it was great!  Not only is it easy to prepare and assemble, it makes an elegant presentation.  Grandma would be proud.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Silicone Egg Rings

Cajun French: l’oeuf (l’uf) – egg

We love kitchen gadgets and have had more than we can count or remember.  Since embarking on our RV Lifestyle, our gadget collection has shrunk to the bare essentials.  One essential, for us, is an egg ring which we use not only for eggs, but for pancakes and grits cakes.  We have been using metal ones and they work well except the metal scratches, not real happy about that.  We were in a kitchen store recently looking for a mandoline, another essential for us, and we noticed silicone egg rings.  They were a little more expensive than the metal but we decided to give them a try.   We use silicone spatulas and would not be without them.  We have seen bakeware yet were never really interested in trying it out.  That said it seems silicone items would be great for an RV Kitchen, easily stored and can take the bouncing around (for a later post).

Basil Gone Wild

Basil gone wild!

Our basil plant is growing as fast as we can use the leaves.  Knowing basil is high in Vitamin K and also has a great flavor, we try to use it as often as possible.  Having fresh mushrooms and planning an egg dish, the basil was calling to us.  We also had fresh sweet potato bread from Forte Grove at the Red Stick Farmers Market and it would enhance the eggs.

The breakfast is very simple yet very gourmet.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Fresh Market Breakfast

At this time of year, the Red Stick Farmers Market is bursting with produce and especially with color. After returning home with our weekly supply of fresh items, we realized we could make a breakfast using all market items, except the parsley from our herb garden. The freshness bursts in your mouth with every bite of this dish.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Shrimp Omlete

Although the “Mighty Mississippi” has taken front and center lately, there have been other important events in our lives.  This week was our wedding anniversary and John fixed a gourmet breakfast for us to celebrate.

This Shrimp Omelet topped with Dill Sauce and Shrimp was a perfect way to start a special day.

Mais C’est Bon!

Bean Burgers

Realizing we are eating too much animal fat, we decided to take action.  Our reason is based on health concerns only.  We are not becoming Vegans nor or we becoming total Vegetarians.  We will continue to eat fish and seafood as well as eggs.  This action is not set in concrete, so while we will post mostly meatless meals, you may find meat related products at times.

Use any beans you have available.  I use whatever beans I cook for the week.

These burgers are great for any meal as well as snacks.

 

Mais C’est Bon!  Enjoy!!

Bread Pudding

 

What a treat!

We try to eat as healthy as possible.  Yet there are days when things happen, and today was one!  I realized we had various bits and pieces of bread and not wanting to throw them away, I decided to make bread pudding.  Since we only eat whole wheat and whole grain breads, my bits and pieces were of these varieties.  Realizing these breads are not real sweet, I have adjusted my recipe.

Mais C’est Bon!  Enjoy!!

Scrambled Eggs with Beet Greens

This week at the farmers market, we purchased young beets with greens still atached. One of our favorite ways to use the greens is with scrambled eggs. The greens add texture to the eggs as well as nutritional benefit. For an added touch this week, we decided to make Beet Jam to go with the scrambled eggs. The jam takes a couple of hours and is well worth the effort.

 Mais C’est Bon!!
